Operating Systems HP-UX awk don't work in hp-ux 11.11

I can only reproduce this if the commands were issued in a shell script and the wrong sort of quotes was used. i.e shell substituted $2 for null space.

Code:
echo abc cba | awk "{print $2}"
echo abc cba | awk '{print $2}'

abc cba
cba


BTW. Processing the "sar -d 2 1" output is a nightmare because column 1 for the second and subsequent disc is blank. You may need to use "cut" first to get rid of the time column.
